WHEN THE PARTY AT FAULT KEEPS DRIVING

About Hit-And-Run Accidents

Over 10 percent of traffic accidents nationally involve a hit-and-run, according to the Insurance Information Institute. After a hit-and-run driver flees the accident scene, the unfortunate victim may be responsible for all expenses, as well as suffering the inconvenience of being without his or her car while it’s being repaired, if his or her auto insurer denies the uninsured motorist accident claim.

This is even more upsetting when you suffered injuries as a result of the accident. If you were struck by a negligent driver who fled the scene of the accident, you are still able to claim damages under the uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage with your own insurance company.

It is very important that you contact the police immediately after the accident to provide your insurance company with the report that stated it was a hit-and-run accident. If you or a loved one was injured because of the accident, it is also important to consult an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

Getting full compensation for injury expenses and other losses will be challenging through the insurance company.
